invasive moth species
🕑 Added 2022-04-06 00:30:28 +0000 UTCI have decided to revisit Shmoo the moth girl and make a new video with her! While i'm costuming I figure I will do a little moth pin up photoshoot eek! Few things I need to figure out are revisions to the costume, firstly it's kind of a poorly made costume. Aesthetically it hits all the important parts; mothy, fluffy and shy-sexy. As a functional costume, the bra is very poorly constructed (I literally just sewed fabric on top of a bra and not very well) and it's still quite cold in Canada and I want to shoot outside! I'm looking for pieces of fabric that I can add to the costume to make it slightly warmer: fuzzy warm boots, sneaky sweater like what i'm wearing in the pics, shiny tights which will make me look like I have shiny insect legs. Lastly, I need to enrich her character in an interesting way. So far I have used her for my "in between" projects or as a guest at the end of my Abby Shapiro video: https://youtu.be/MU091KzSCHk
I think I want to make something weird about the invasive species of moths that are eating up a lot of trees in North America. I'm not one to make an informative video that's pro or anti moth extermination (although I personally vote nay) I do think I could use this strange anti moth psychic energy to enrich my character. Like check out this video: https://youtu.be/LrsFZKScZqM This guy described the moths as a biblical plague. I dunno, maybe they are but I like thinking about where humans draw the line between nature and pest. For example, deer were my favourite animal growing up, I like how they are shy and elegant. Currently in Canada, deer are seen as a bad warning sign because they bring ticks and Lyme disease. One last weird little spell I want to cast on this video is introducing themes from the book called "One Thousand and One Nights." which is a collection of middle eastern folk tales. One of the tales in it is the story of Aladdin. Super quick summary: it's a tale about a king who mistrusts women because he caught his wife cheating on him. For 3 years every night he sleeps with a virgin and then kills her the next day so she can't betray him. Scheherazade who is the hand's daughter volunteers to go to him and every night she tells him a suspenseful story that ends on a cliff hanger. He never kills her because he wants to know how the story ends. She is essentially telling stories for her life and for the lives of all the women in her city. It's a very long and disturbing read, but I think I might be able to use some of the themes in this video. Maybe not! Anyways i'm looking forward to doing my moth eyebrows look!

Do you own a moth for real?

Looking forward to more moths. Two side point, one my moth is scared of moths she doesn’t like the flapping of their wings and freaks out when she see them. Two, deers are great last year we had a family of deer rest in the back yard of my house. And I live in the middle of the city.
